Tornado ratings are determined based on the severity of the damage a tornado inflicts, which is in turn used to estimate wind speed.

How is wind speed determined in a tornado?
Wind speed is usually estimated based on the severity of damage that the tornado causes. In some cases it is measured by Doppler radar or, rarely, with an anemometer inside the tornado.
How is a tornado's strength measured?
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
How the force of power of a tornado measured?
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage, wchi is used to estimate wind speed and assign it a rating from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest)
What happens when a tornado goes over a hill?
The tornado keeps going without being affected.
What scale of measurement or tool is used to measure the force of a tornado's wind?
The wind of a tornado may be remotely measured using Doppler radar. In rare instances an anemometer makes it inside a tornado and measure wind directly. However, most tornadoes never have their winds actually measured. Instead the wind speed is estimated from the severity of the damage using the parameters of the Enhanced Fujita scale.
Is a tornado's width measured at the top or bottom?
A tornado's width is measured at bottom, usually by the width of the damage path.
How is the deadliest tornado measured?
Its is measured by speed,power,andwind speed
How thick can a tornado get?
The widest tornado on record was measured to be 2.6 miles wide.
How can a tornado's strength be measured?
The intensity of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it inflicts.
When a tornado is measured is it from the cloud or on the ground?
The intensity of a tornado is rated based on damage done on the ground.
What has been the fastest tornado ever in the entire world?
The fastest winds measured in a tornado were 302 mph in a tornado that struck the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999. However, other tornadoes may have had faster winds that were not measured, as it is rare to get an actual wind measurement from a tornado. The fastest known traveling speed of a tornado was 73 mph in the Tr-State tornado of March 18, 1925.
How is wind speed determined in a tornado?
Wind speed is usually estimated based on the severity of damage that the tornado causes. In some cases it is measured by Doppler radar or, rarely, with an anemometer inside the tornado.
How is a tornado's strength measured?
by scale called the fujita scale or (enhanced fujita scale) to measure intensity or strength of a tornado based on the severity of damage.
What is the strongest wind between a hurricane tornado or a cyclone?
The highest wind ever measured by any device was during the Oklahoma City tornado in 1999. Josh Worman and the Doppler on Wheels measured winds of 318 mph in part of the funnel.
Is there going to be a tornado in 2012 in Chicago?
It is impossible to make long term predictions of whether or when a specific location will have a tornado. When we do determine that a town or city is going to be hit, the time to the tornado's impact is measured in minutes.
